That  Ceil  Board  is  being  more 
frequently  specified  by  repre¬ 
sentative  architects  than  any 
other  wallboard  on  the  market 
is  due  to  the  superior  merits  of 
this  wallboard  and  the  prestige 
of  its  makers,  The  Philip  Carey 
Company,  Cincinnati.  This 
company,  which  has  manufac¬ 
tured  various  building  materials 
for  more  than  a  third  of  a 
century,  and  which  produces 
the  famous  Carey  Flexible 
Cement  Roofing,  puts  its  name 
and  reputation  behind  CEIL 
BOARD  and  that,  in  itself,  is 
a  sufficient  guarantee  of  the 
quality  of  the  material. 


The  Home  of  Ceil  Board.  Plant  of  the  Philip  Carey  Co.,  Lockland,  Ohio. 


WE  EXPERIMENTED  with  various  forms  of 
wallboard  for  several  years  prior  to  the  in- 

_  troduction  of  Ceil  Board,  determined  that  we 

s===  would  not  attempt  to  market  any  board  until 

-  we  had  a  material  that  was  practically  perfect. 

During  these  years  we  carefully  watched  the  other  wall- 
boards  which  had  been  put  out,  and  by  making  thorough 
tests  and  exhaustive  experiments,  acquainted  ourselves 
with  the  weak  points  of  these  other  materials,  and  thus 
made  it  possible  to  eliminate  like  mistakes  in  our  own 
product. 

Before  presenting  Ceil  Board  to  the  public,  it  was  posi¬ 
tively  demonstrated  that  it  had  not  only  successfully 
overcome  the  weak  points  of  all  other  wallboards,  but 
had  had  incorporated  in  it  a  variety  of  good  qualities 
hitherto  unknown  to  the  manufacturers  of  like  products. 
It  can  safely  be  said  that  Ceil  Board  has  every  good 
point  of  all  the  other  wallboards  on  the  market  and  none 
of  their  defects. 


CONSTRUCTION— 

Ceil  Board  is  of  studied  and  scientific  construction.  It  is 
in  thickness,  and  composed  of  four  panels  of  the  best 
grade  chip  board  held  in  bond  by  Gilsonite  Asphalt  Ce¬ 
ment.  It  is  the  only  }our-ply  Board  manufactured  and 
the  only  one  which  has  three  layers  of  mineral  asphalt  ce¬ 
ment  to  insure  against  the  penetration  of  moisture.  The 
chip  board  used  is  of  the  very  highest  quality.  There 
are  poorer  and  cheaper  grades  used  in  the  manufacture 
of  other  wallboards.  These  cheaper  grades  have  a  mini¬ 
mum  of  tensile  strength  and  tend  to  rapid  disintegration. 
The  paper  tailings  used  in  the  manufacture  of  our  chip 
board  are  not  only  clean  before  their  delivery  at  the 
mill,  but  they  are  put  through  a  process  of  sterilization 
during  manufacture,  which  renders  them  strictly  pure 
and  hygienic.  Ceil  Board  has  a  tensile  strength  not 
equalled  by  any  other  wallboard. 

The  Asphalt  cement  used  is  the  purest  obtainable  and 
contains  a  very  small  percentage  of  volatile  oils.  The  ideal 


‘•y  ,  i 


asphalt  for  such  a  binder  must  have 
adhesive  strength,  waterproof  qualities 
and  a  minimum  of  volatile  oils.  Thirty 
years  of  experience  in  handling  and  re¬ 
fining  asphalt  for  the  manufacture  of 
various  products  in  which  it  plays  a 
prominent  part,  has  given  us  the  knowl¬ 
edge  requisite  in  perfecting  such  a 
binder.  Our  compound  has  such  great 
adhesive  qualities  that  the  panels  can 
not  separate  even  under  extreme  heat 
or  the  constant  pull  from  wood  veneers 
or  heavy  wallpapers  applied  to  its  sur¬ 
face.  This  asphalt  cement  also  renders 
the  Board  thoroughly  moisture  proof; 
it  is  as  impossible  for  moisture  to  pene¬ 
trate  it  as  it  would  be  to  penetrate  three 
sheets  of  pure  rubber.  The  absence  of  highly 
olatile  oils  increases  the  efficiency  of  Ceil 
Board  as  a  fire  retarder.  Ceil  Board  is  an 
effective  insulator  against  changes  of  temperature, 
having  approximately  four  times  the  effectiveness 
of  plaster  and  twenty  times  that  of  sheet  metal.  As 
it  is  designed  primarily  for  the  lining  of  walls  and 
ceilings,  this  fact  is  of  great  importance  in  demonstrating 
the  powers  of  the  Board  to  conserve  the  interior  tem¬ 
perature  of  the  building  and  exclude  the  exterior  tem¬ 
perature.  Ceil  Board  is  also  so  effective  as  a  sound  dead- 
ener  as  to  have  a  large  sale  for  the  deadening  of  sound 
between  floors.  The  chip  board  used  in  its  manufacture 
is  made  up  of  millions  of  tiny  dead  air  spaces  which  pre¬ 
clude  the  uninterrupted  passage  of  sound  through  the 
Board.  Ceil  Board  is  a  slow  burning  or  fire  retarding 
material.  It  will  not  burn  nearly  as  readily  as  the  wooden 


timbers  to  which  it  is  applied.  It  withstands  the  flame  of 
a  blow  torch  ( 1800  degrees  F.)  for  26  seconds  before  char - 
ring . 

Both  surfaces  of  Ceil  Board  are  thoroughly  sized  at  the 
factory  with  a  compound  which  prevents  the  absorption 
of  moisture  from  the  atmosphere.  Without  such  a  siz¬ 
ing  there  is  risk  of  injurious  contraction  and  expansion 
from  climatic  changes  or  atmospheric  conditions.  This 
risk  is  positively  minimized  in  Ceil  Board.  The  surface 
of  Ceil  Board  is  smooth  and  even,  and  lends  itself  per¬ 
fectly  to  any  style  of  decorative  treatment.  It  is  fin¬ 
ished  with  a  tan  coating  on  one  side,  which  is  sufficiently 
attractive  to  allow  of  the  use  of  the  Board  under  a  great 
many  conditions  without  further  decoration.  It  is  fur¬ 
nished  in  standard  widths  of  24",  32"  and  48"  and  lengths 
from  5'  to  12',  but  different  sizes  may  be  had  upon  speci¬ 
fication  at  a  slight  additional  cost. 

Some  of  the  Uses  of  Ceil  Board 

IN  THE  HOME — Ceil  Board  finds  its  largest  use  as  a 
wall  and  ceiling  covering,  but  can  be  used  in  many  other 
ways  to  add  to  the  beauty  and  convenience  of  the  home. 
Partitions  may  be  built  of  it  to  divide  rooms.  Old  un¬ 
sightly  plaster  which  will  hold  neither  paint  nor  paper 
may  be  effectively  covered  and  beautifully  decorated. 
The  unfinished  attic  may  be  ceiled  and  walled  with  Ceil 
Board  and  made  attractive  and  comfortable  as  well  as 
providing  additional  quarters  for  a  crowded  household. 
Millions  of  unlined  attics  remain  unused  today  because 
of  the  dirt  and  annoyance  incidental  to  plastering.  In 
using  Ceil  Board  there  is  no  dirt  nor  damage  to  any  por¬ 
tion  of  the  house,  and  an  expert  mechanic  need  not  be 
employed  as  Ceil  Board  can  be  applied  by  anyone  who 


A  Ceil  Board  Dining  Room. 


can  use  a  hammer  and  saw.  Attics  are  notoriously  sub¬ 
ject  to  intense  heat  in  the  summer  and  cold  in  winter. 
As  plaster  conveys  heat  and  cold  from  the  outside  it  is 
worse  than  useless  in  an  attic. 

The  moisture  proof  properties  of  Ceil  Board  make  it 
especially  valuable  for  use  in  basements,  and  keep  this 
portion  of  the  house  as  dry  as  a  bone.  It  will  not  only 
insure  general  healthful  conditions  throughout  the  entire 
house,  but  will  prevent  damage  to  supplies  and  fixtures 
stored  in  basements.  Ceil  Board  is  proof  against  the 
steams  and  vapors  of  your  laundry,  kitchen  amd  bath 
rooms,  and  when  painted  can  be  washed  as  easily  as  tile. 
As  Ceil  Board  can  be  painted,  wall  papered  or  paneled,  it 
gives  variety  and  scope  to  the  decorative  possibilities  of 
the  interior.  There  need  be  no  monotony  in  decorating 
your  home  if  you  have  Ceil  Board  walls  and  ceilings. 

It  may  also  be  used  for  the  lining  of  cupboards,  and  for

the  making  of  shelving,  while  very  durable  and  handsome 
shirt  waist  boxes,  screens  and  other  household  articles 
may  be  constructed  of  it. 

IN  THE  DEPARTMENT  STORE— Ceil  Board  has  a 
wide  range  of  usefulness  in  the  department  store  and  is 
rapidly  supplanting  wood  and  plaster  as  heretofore  used. 
In  these  mercantile  establishments  where  large  crowds 
congregate  there  is  considerable  vibration  in  the  building 
which  results  in  the  speedy  destruction  of  plaster.  If 
for  no  other  reason  than  to  overcome  this  danger,  Ceil 
Board  should  be  used.  It  is  entirely  unaffected  by  vibra¬ 
tion  and  can  not  crack  or  fall. 

For  booths  in  which  quiet  is  necessary  or  where  an  even 
temperature  and  a  minimum  of  humidity  are  desired, 
Ceil  Board  can  not  be  equalled.  It  is  a  moisture  proof, 
sound  deadening,  and  temperature  resisting  material,

which  makes  it  an  ideal  wall  and  partition  builder.  Ceil 
Board  is  much  cheaper  than  wood  paneling,  and  not  so 
susceptible  to  the  danger  of  fire  from  badly  insulated 
electric  wires. 

It  is  being  used  in  thousands  of  stores  for  partitions,  ex¬ 
hibit  booths,  rooms  for  display  of  furniture,  booths  for 
demonstrating  talking  machines  and  musical  instru¬ 
ments,  the  backing  of  display  windows,  temporary  dis¬ 
play  table  tops,  shelving,  etc.  In  using  Ceil  Board  in 
these  ways  merchants  save  money  in  the  product  itself, 
in  the  absence  of  repair  bills,  the  elimination  of  damage 
to  stock  and  interruption  to  business.  Ceil  Board  is 
put  up  without  any  interruption  or  the  dirt  and  delay 
incidental  to  plaster  jobs.

IN  HOSPITALS  AND  SANITARIUMS— Ceil  Board  is 
thoroughly  hygienic  and  is  highly  indorsed  for  use  in 
public  institutions  of  all  kinds.  Its  surface  is  so  flat  and 
smooth  that  it  can  not  harbor  or  breed  bacteria  as  peb¬ 
bled-surface  boards  and  rough  finished  walls  do.  The 
mineral  asphalt  cement  used  as  a  binder  is  highly  ob- 


The  Unused  Attic  Converted  Into  a  Comfortable  Bedroom, 


noxious  to  vermin  and  rodents,  rendering  their  presence 
impossible.  Ceil  Board  thus  becomes  the  most  hygienic 
wall  lining  for  all  public  institutions  where  vermin  life 
and  bacteria  are  constant  dangers.  Its  sound  deadening 
qualities  also  add  much  comfort  to  the  suffering. 

IN  OFFICE  BUILDINGS— The  building  and  rear¬ 
rangement  of  office  partitions  in  this  class  of  building  is 
one  of  the  largest  sources  of  expenditure  for  the  owner. 
Ceil  Board  offers  an  economical  and  satisfactory  answer 
to  this  problem.  It  is  lighter  than  wood,  sound  proof 
and  vastly  cheaper  than  any  other  material  obtainable 
for  the  purpose.  It  is  also  fire  retarding  and  not  so  com¬ 
bustible  as  the  wooden  partitions  now  in  use. 

Our  Grained  Ceil  Board  when  used  for  panels  in  parti¬ 
tions  can  not  be  detected  from  real  wood  after  it  has 
been  properly  finished  with  gloss  or  dead  varnish.  Plain 
Ceil  Board  may  also  be  used  for  this  purpose,  taking 
either  an  exact  hand  graining  in  imitation  of  wood,  or  a 
decoration  of  oil  or  cold  water  paint. 

IN  SUMMER  COTTAGES  AND  BUNGALOWS— 
Plaster  is  seldom  used  in  cottages  close  to  the  water  as

it  will  not  stand  up  in  a  moist  climate,  is  too  expensive 
for  this  class  of  construction  and  too  heavy  for  the  usual 
light  foundations  provided.  It  also  attracts  moisture, 
holds  it  and  conducts  it  into  the  interior.  To  those  who 
have  lived  near  the  fogs  of  the  sea  or  the  water-laden 
atmosphere  of  the  lakes,  a  cottage  lined  with  Ceil  Board

will  be  a  source  of  much  bodily  comfort  and  a  delight 
to  the  eye.  Ceil  Board  will  not  admit  the  moisture  in 
the  air,  and  a  summer  home  lined  with  it  will  be  per¬ 
fectly  dry  on  the  most  damp  day. 

Its  temperature  insulating  properties  also  add  greatly

to  the  comfort  of  the  occupants,  as  the  heat  of  midday 
and  the  chill  of  the  summer  evenings  ^re  effectively  kept 
out  and  an  even  temperature  preserved  in  the  house. 
Ceil  Board  is  much  lighter  than  plaster  and  will  not  sag 
the  walls  even  though  the  cottage  rests  on  piling  only. 

There  will  also  be  an  absence  of  the  spiders  and  other 
insects  which  infest  the  uncovered  beams  of  temporarily 
occupied  cottages. 

Reference  to  the  decorative  possibilities  of  Ceil  Board 
will  illustrate  the  beauty  which  may  be  secured  with  an 
interior  lining  of  this  material. 

IN  FACTORIES — The  practical  and  alert  superin¬ 
tendent  is  well  awrare  of  the  increasing  cost  of  lumber 
and  its  decreasing  quality.  For  this  reason  Ceil  Board 
has  met  with  unprecedented  demand  for  interior  con¬ 
struction  in  factories  previously  using  lumber  exclusively. 
Ceil  Board  may  be  used  under  any  conditions  where 
lumber  and  plaster  have  hitherto  been  used  for  the  mak¬ 
ing  of  walls,  partitions  or  ceilings.  Plaster  has  ever  been 
unsatisfactory  for  factory  construction  on  account  of 


the  constant  vibration  which  soon  destroys  it.  Ceil 
Board,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  is  much  cheaper  than  plaster 
or  lumber,  but  the  greatest  saving  is  made  in  its  appli¬ 
cation.  Coming  in  large  sheets  it  is  quickly  applied, 
which  means  a  large  saving  on  the  labor  item.  Many 
factories  which  heretofore  had  exposed  beams  and  stud¬ 
ding,  are  using  Ceil  Board  as  it  makes  an  excellent  re¬ 
flector  of  light  when  painted  in  light  shades  or  sprayed 
with  kalsomine.  It  helps  also  to  make  better  and  hap¬ 
pier  surroundings  for  the  workers,  thus  increasing  their 
efficiency. 

ON  THE  FARM — It  is  always  difficult  for  the  farmer 
to  get  a  plasterer  when  he  wants  one,  and  even  though 
he  could  obtain  the  plastering  materials  and  were  able 
to  apply  them  himself,  his  time  is  too  valuable  to  spend 
in  this  way  during  the  summer  months — the  only  time 
when  plaster  can  be  applied.  Ceil  Board  is  brought 
right  to  his  door  and  can  easily  be  applied  by  himself  at 
any  season  of  the  year  without  reference  to  temperature. 
This  means  that  the  farmer  may  await  his  leisure  period

in  the  winter  time  and 
employ  himself  in  re¬ 
covering  cracked  plas¬ 
tered  walls',  or  in  lining 
barns,  stables,  poultry 
houses  or  other  build¬ 
ings  in  need  of  a  lining 
and  insulating  medium. 

Our  waterproof  Ceil 
Board  is  much  in  use 
on  the,  farm,  being  es¬ 
pecially  fine  for  the 
lining  of  poultry  houses 
or  for  use  as  sheathing 
in  place  of  lumber  sid¬ 
ing  on  small  buildings. 
It  may  be  exposed  to 
the  elements  without 
injury. 


IN  GARAGES — A  large  sale  of  unlined  portable  private 
garages  has  led  to  an  enormous  demand  for  Ceil  Board 
as  a  lining  material.  These  unlined  buildings  whether 
metal  or  frame,  admit  the  outside  temperature,  and  are 
so  uncomfortable  in  winter  and  summer  as  to  have  led 
the  owners  on  a  search  for  some  material  with  which  to 
line  them.  Ceil  Board’s  remarkable  insulating  proper¬ 
ties  are  successful  in  this  direction — the  heat  of  the 
summer  will  be  excluded  as  well  as  the  cold  of  the 
winter.  Ceil  Board  has  an  equally  large  demand  for 
privately  constructed  garages. 


IN  EXPOSITIONS — Ceil  Board’s  lightness,  the  sim¬ 
plicity  of  its  application,  its  cleanliness  and  economy 
make  it  a  much  used  material  in  the  construction  of 


lltltlllll 


booths  in  all  kinds  of  expositions  and  displays.  In 
churches,  theatres,  railroad  stations  and  other  public 
buildings  subject  to  considerable  vibration,  Ceil  Board  is 
used  very  largely  because  of  the  fact  that  it  is  unaffected 
by  vibration,  shocks  and  jars. 

IN  ALL  OTHER  BUILDINGS— There  is  no  building 
of  any  kind  in  which  Ceil  Board  may  not  be  used.  It 
is  used  in  buildings  of  costly  construction  as  well  as  in 
the  most  modest  cottage. 


The  Results  of  Using  Ceil  Board 


(i)  HEALTH — Health  stands  first  in  the  householder’s 
curriculum.  Vermin  accumulating  between  wall  and 
paper,  rats  and  mice  infesting  the  open  spaces  between 
lath  and  outer  wall, 
water,  sewer  and  gas 
pipes  leaking  behind 
plastered  walls  where 
leaks  can  not  be  found, 
have  been  a  few  of  the 
dangers  to  health  con¬ 
sequent  on  the  use  of 
plastered  walls.  Ceil 
Board  eliminates  all 
these.  The  Asphalt 
cement  used  in  its  con¬ 
struction  is  obnoxious 
to  vermin  and  rodents 
and  is  a  positive  pro¬ 
tection  against  their 
infection.  Leaks  in 
pipes  may  be  repaired 
at  very  slight  expense,

CITY  HALL  CEILING  FELL. 

A  section  of  ceiling  in  the  city  engineer’s 
department  about  six  feet  long  by  four 
feet  wide  fell  at  9  o’clock  yesterday  morn¬ 
ing,  narrowly  missing  the  head  of  Assist¬ 
ant  Engineer  L.  P.  Boeh.  The  ceiling  had 
been  sagging  for  some  months,  due,  it  is 
believed,  to  rain  from  a  leak  in  the  roof, 
and  Mr.  Boeh  said  he  had  called  attention 
to  the  danger  of  the  plaster  falling  some 
time  ago.

as  Ceil  Board  is  applied  in  sections  and  can  be  removed 
from  the  wall  and  replaced  without  dirt  and  without 
damage  to  the  balance  of  the  wall  surface. 

(2)  ECONOMY — Ceil  Board  is  much  cheaper  than 
plaster  or  wood  for  interior  decoration.  The  plastering 
contractor  figures  the  dimensions  of  a  room  without 
reference  to  openings,  and  charges  you  for  solid  walls 
where  there  are  doors  and  windows.  There  is  practi¬ 
cally  no  waste  to  Ceil  Board.  You  pay  only  for  wall 
space  actually  covered.  Your  carpenters  are  delayed 
while  plastering  is  being  put  on,  but  your  carpenter 
foreman  must  be  in  attendance  and  you  pay  his  wages 
while  the  plasterers  work.  You  can  apply  Ceil  Board 
yourself,  but  if  you  want  the  carpenters  to  do  it  you  pay 
only  for  the  work  they  actually  do. 


(3)  SAFETY — Plaster  is  not  a  safe  wall  or  ceiling  lining. 
It  cracks  and  falls  for  many  reasons — roof  leaks,  explo¬ 
sions,  earthquakes,  vibrations  from  passing  trains  and 
heavy  vehicles,  the  settling  of  buildings  and  the  inherent 
and  natural  disintegration  caused  by  age.  Many  thou¬ 
sands  of  people  are  injured  every  year  by  falling  plaster. 


Ceil  Board  is  unaffected  by  the  conditions  which  crack 
and  destroy  plastered  surfaces.  It  can  not  fall  unless 
the  walls  collapse.  Wooden  walls  are  a  constant  fire 
menace,  defective  electric  wires  find  ready  fuel  in  them. 
Ceil  Board  is  a  fire  retarder,  and  will  not  burn  unless 
exposed  to  a  constant  flame. 

(4)  COMFORT — Ceil  Board  will  give  you  greater 
comfort  than  any  other  lining  material  that  could  be 
used  in  the  building  of  your  home.  Because  of  its  con¬ 
struction  of  four  separate  layers  of  chip  board  and  three 
layers  of  asphalt  cement,  it  is  a  non-conductor  of  heat 
and  cold.  The  winter’s  cold  or  the  summer’s  heat  can 
not  reach  the  interior  through  Ceil  Board  as  they  can 
through  plaster.  Ceil  Board  is  also  an  excellent  dead- 
ener  of  sound,  and  a  positive  protection  against  damp¬ 
ness,  fogs,  sea  air  and  rain-laden  atmosphere  which  can 
not  penetrate  the  asphalt  cement. 

(5)  SIMPLICITY — Anyone  can  apply  Ceil  Board  to

wall  or  ceiling.  All  you  need  is  a  saw,  a  hammer  and 
some  nails.  Ceil  Board  is  made  in  widths  to  fit  the  regu¬ 
lar  studding  and  comes  in  any  length  up  to  16  feet.  Ir¬ 
regular  sizes  will  be  furnished  on  specification.  Ceil 
Board  is  nailed  to  the  studding  and  rafters,  the  length 
of  the  Board  running  parallel  with  the  studding.  The 
directions  for  decorating  the  Board  with  either  paint, 
tints,  burlap  or  wall  paper  are  so  simple  as  to  be  easily 
followed  by  a  novice.  There  is  no  waiting  for  freezing 
weather  to  moderate,  and  no  delay  for  the  setting  of 
plaster.  Ceil  Board"  can  be  put  up  at  any  time  and  when 
the  last  nail  is  driven  you  can  move  in. 

(6)  DURABILITY — Ceil  Board  is  practically  a  defier 
of  time.  Because  of  its  waterproof  properties,  there  is 
no  natural  disintegration.  In  protecting  your  rooms 
against  moisture  it  preserves  itself.  Unlike  plaster,  it 
is  sufficiently  resilient  to  withstand  the  settling  of  the 
walls  and  the  severest  shocks  and  vibrations  such  as 
earthquakes,  explosions,  etc.  It  can  not  leave  the  walls

Ceil  Board  is  a  fire  retarder,  and  will  not  burn  unless 
exposed  to  a  constant  flame. 

(4)  COMFORT — Ceil  Board  will  give  you  greater 
comfort  than  any  other  lining  material  that  could  be 
used  in  the  building  of  your  home.  Because  of  its  con¬ 
struction  of  four  separate  layers  of  chip  board  and  three 
layers  of  asphalt  cement,  it  is  a  non-conductor  of  heat 
and  cold.  The  winter’s  cold  or  the  summer’s  heat  can 
not  reach  the  interior  through  Ceil  Board  as  they  can 
through  plaster.  Ceil  Board  is  also  an  excellent  dead- 
ener  of  sound,  and  a  positive  protection  against  damp¬ 
ness,  fogs,  sea  air  and  rain-laden  atmosphere  which  can 
not  penetrate  the  asphalt  cement. 

(5)  SIMPLICITY — Anyone  can  apply  Ceil  Board  to

wall  or  ceiling.  All  you  need  is  a  saw,  a  hammer  and 
some  nails.  Ceil  Board  is  made  in  widths  to  fit  the  regu¬ 
lar  studding  and  comes  in  any  length  up  to  16  feet.  Ir¬ 
regular  sizes  will  be  furnished  on  specification.  Ceil 
Board  is  nailed  to  the  studding  and  rafters,  the  length 
of  the  Board  running  parallel  with  the  studding.  The 
directions  for  decorating  the  Board  with  either  paint, 
tints,  burlap  or  wall  paper  are  so  simple  as  to  be  easily 
followed  by  a  novice.  There  is  no  waiting  for  freezing 
weather  to  moderate,  and  no  delay  for  the  setting  of 
plaster.  Ceil  Board"  can  be  put  up  at  any  time  and  when 
the  last  nail  is  driven  you  can  move  in. 

(6)  DURABILITY — Ceil  Board  is  practically  a  defier 
of  time.  Because  of  its  waterproof  properties,  there  is 
no  natural  disintegration.  In  protecting  your  rooms 
against  moisture  it  preserves  itself.  Unlike  plaster,  it 
is  sufficiently  resilient  to  withstand  the  settling  of  the 
walls  and  the  severest  shocks  and  vibrations  such  as 
earthquakes,  explosions,  etc.  It  can  not  leave  the  walls 


unless  purposely  removed.  Here  you  have  no  cracked 
and  unsightly  walls  or  rain-soaked  ceilings.  Unlike 
wood,  no  animal  life  can  burrow  in  and  destroy  it.  It 
is  proof  against  vermin  and  germ  life  of  all  kinds. 

(7)  BEAUTY — There  is  no  wall,  whatever  its  cost, 
that  will  lend  itself  to  a  more  artistic  decoration  or  en¬ 
hance  the  beauty  of  your  rooms  to  a  greater  degree. 
Our  specifications  provide  for  any  decorative  result  you 
can  accomplish  with  marble,  wood,  plaster,  tile,  wall 
paper  or  burlap.  Marble  can  be  imitated  to  deception; 
any  finish  of  natural  wood  is  easily  obtained  and  an  enamel 
finish  may  be  lined  to  represent  porcelain  tiling.  Wall 
paper  or  burlap  may  be  applied  in  the  same  way  as  over 
plastered  walls.  In  painting,  the  use  of  wooden  strips 
over  the  joints  gives  a  beautiful  paneled  effect. 

(8)  SUPERIORITY — There  is  no  one  wall  covering  of 
any  conceivable  nature  which  can  boast  the  combined 
merits  of  Ceil  Board.  Besides  the  materials  mentioned 
under  other  heads,  there  are  other  wall  boards  made.

and  best  development 
in  the  manufacture  of 
wall  board.  There  is 
no  other  Board  like  it, 
and  while  it  is  the 
pioneer  in  its  field  it  is 
likely  that  there  will 
be  many  imitators. 
Grained  Ceil  Board  is 
of  the  same  construc¬ 
tion  as  Ceil  Board, 
being  four-ply,  and  has 
all  of  the  many  good 
qualities  attributed  to 
Ceil  Board  in  the  pre¬ 
ceding  pages.  Added  to 
these  good  points  we 
have  invented  a  method 
of  reproducing  on  its 
surface  an  exact  replica 
of  the  grain  of  various  woods.  This  reproduction  is  as 
faithful  as  a  photograph  copy  and  is  taken  directly 
from  the  wood  itself.  It  is  not  a  printed  imitation 
pasted  to  the  surface  of  the  Ceil  Board,  but  is  an  integral 
part  of  it,  being  applied  directly  to  the  surface.  Differ¬ 
ent  wood  finishes  are  represented;  reference  to  page 
23^ will  show  the  faithfulness  of  the  reproduction  of 
quartered  oak.  Grained  Ceil  Board  is  furnished

It  may  be  used  wherever  Ceil  Board  can  be  used,  but  is 
meant  to  take  the  place  of  solid  wood  or  commercial 
veneers  in  the  making  of  wainscots  and  wall  panels,  as 
well  as  partitions  for  offices  and  interior  trim  for  public 


T 


buildings  and  mercantile  establishments.  It  should  be 
finished  with  either  gloss  or  dead  varnish,  the  joints  cov¬ 
ered  with  2"  strips  of  the  material  or  with  wooden  strips. 
This  material  is  recommended  for  use  in  the  very  best 
class  of  buildings,  but  as  the  cost  of  manufacture  has 
been  held  down  it  may  be  used  in  houses  of  very  cheap 
construction. 

Waterproof  Ceil  Board — Waterproof  Ceil  Board  is 
of  the  same  construction  as  Ceil  Board  with  an  addi¬ 
tional  saturation  of  the  four  plies  of  chip  stock  with  a 
waterproofing  compound  which  renders  it  in  fact  as  well 
as  in  name  impervious  to  penetration  by  water.  The 
Board  is  A"  thick,  the  outer  surfaces  are  perfectly  smooth 
and  the  color  is  a  dead  black.  This  material  may  be 
submerged  in  a  tank  of  water  for  hours  and  will  take  up 
absolutely  no  moisture. 

It  is  the  only  absolutely 
waterproof  board  on  the 
market.  It  has  the  same 
properties  of  insulation 
and  sound  deadening 
that  Ceil  Board  has, 
but  on  account  of 
being  absolutely  water¬ 
proof  it  may  be  used 
on  the  exterior  as  well 
as  the  interior.  There 
is  no  condition  of  at¬ 
mosphere  or  tempera¬ 
ture  under  which 
Water-proof  Ceil  Board 
can  not  be  used,  al¬ 
though  it  is  meant

there  is  a  likelihood  of  its  coming  into  contact  with 
water,  heavy  vapors,  steam  or  other  extreme  and  constant

of  garages,  steam  rooms  in  laundries,  and  engine  rooms,

finds  a  large  use  about  manufacturing  plants  and  farms 
in  taking  the  place  of  wooden  siding  for  small  buildings 
and  warehouses.  Waterproof  Ceil  Board  can  not,  how¬ 
ever,  be  successfully  decorated. 

Applying  Ceil  Board — The  days  of  expense,  litter 
and  delay  in  the  finishing  of  walls  ^nd  ceilings  will  be  at 
an  end  when  Ceil  Board  is  universally  used.  The  direc¬ 
tions  for  application  are  so  simple  as  to  appeal  to  the 
busy  householder. 

Ceil  Board  comes  in  widths  of  24,"  32"  and  48"  which 
are  the  proper  widths  to  bring  the  edges  to  the  centers 
of  the  studding  or  joists  if  these  are  set  to  the  usual  16" 
centers.  It  may  be  had  in  lengths  to  fit  the  height  on 
wall  or  the  length  on  ceiling. 

Ceil  Board  is  applied  to  the  studding  of  walls  and  joists 
of  ceilings  by  nailing.  Both  regular  widths  of  Ceil  Board 
will  be  found  to  extend  from  the  center  of  one  joist  to 
the  center  of  another.  Nail  the  Board  to  these  frames 
along  all  edges  and  ends  as  well  as  into  the  intermediate 
studs  and  joists.  Headers,  pieces  of  timber  of  same  size 
as  the  studding,  should  be  provided  at  all  joints,  at  ends 
of  sheets,  midway  between  ends  and  immediately  behind 
top  of  baseboard. 

Flat  head  nails  long  with  a  }/£"  head  are  used  along 
edges  and  ends  of  Board,  and  should  be  driven  }/±'  from 
edge  and  not  less  often  than  every  2". 

Bung  head  nails  1} /±'  long  with  a  }/%'  head  are  used  for 
nailing  into  the  intermediate  studs.  These  nails  are 
countersunk,  the  holes  being  filled  with  Carey  Crack 
Filler  when  the  wall  is  to  be  painted. 

Ceil  Board  may  be  successfully  applied  over  old  plaster 
if  care  is  taken  to  follow  the  joists  and  studding,  and  a 
nail  2"  in  length  is  used,  but  for  others  than  experienced 


carpenters  or  builders,  we  recommend  the  use  of  furring 
strips.  These  strips  should  be  not  less  than  wide 

and  about  thick.  The  furring  strips  are  nailed 

through  the  plaster  and  into  the  studding  and  joists,  and 
Ceil  Board  is  nailed  to  these  strips  in  the  same  way  as 
when  being  applied  directly  to  studding. 

In  covering  brick,  concrete  or  tile  walls,  furring  strips 
of  same  size  should  be  nailed  to  wooden  plugs  set  into 
the  wall.  Furring  strips  to  be  set  16"  to  centers.  Cross 
pieces  should  be  applied  as  directed  for  headers  on  new 
work.  For  detailed  instructions  for  the  application  of 
Ceil  Board,  see  page  (33). 

Decorating  Ceil  Board — In  the  matter  of  decoration, 
Ceil  Board  is  perfectly  adapted  to  any  treatment  used 
in  the  decoration  of  either  plaster  or  wood.  It  takes  and 
holds  wall  paper  perfectly,  can  be  painted  with  either 
oil,  water  colors  or  cold  water  paints,  and  perfect  imita¬ 
tions  of  the  natural  grain  of  various  woods,  marble  or 
tile  can  be  effected.  In  fact  the  scope  of  decoration  is 
limited  only  by  the  individual  skill  of  the  decorator. 

For  the  decoration  of  Ceil  Board  walls  and  ceilings  we 
highly  recommend  a  flat  washable  oil  paint.  Such  paints 
are  not  only  beautiful  in  their  soft  tones  but  are  thor¬ 
oughly  hygienic  as  they  may  be  washed  from  time  to 
time  and  are  a  great  protection  to  the  surface  of  the  wall 
itself. 

CAREY  DULTONE  PAINT  is  a  flat  washable  oil  paint 
made  especially  for  this  purpose  and  will  give  great  satis¬ 
faction  wherever  used. 

When  painting  or  tinting  Ceil  Board,  fill  countersunk 
nail  holes  in  intermediate  studs  with  Carey  Crack  Filler 
and  apply  a  coat  of  shellac  over  these  spots.  Panel 
strips  made  of  the  same  material  as  Ceil  Board  Ye"  x  2" 


or  wooden  panel  strips  should  be  nailed  over  the  joints, 
care  being  taken  to  arrange  them  so  as  to  produce  a 
symmetrical  effect.  Carey  Dultone  First  Coater  or  a 
good  size  coat  should  be  applied  before  putting  on  Carey 
Dultone  or  other  oil  paint.  A  coat  of  shellac  over  the 
entire  surface  of  the  wall  is  an  effective  sizing  when  Cold 
Water  Paints  are  to  be  used. 

When  rooms  are  to  be  papered,  all  joints  should  be  cov¬ 
ered  over  with  a  three-inch  strip  of  canvas.  Care  should 
be  taken  to  have  these  strips  cut  perfectly  straight  and 
well  glued  to  the  surface  of  the  Board  before  glue  sizing. 
After  the  entire  surface  has  been  glue  sized,  apply  wall 
paper  the  same  as  over  plastered  walls.  It  is  possible 
to  fill  joints  between  the  panels  with  Carey  Crack  Filler 
and  paint  over  it  without  using  panel  strips,  but  we  do 
not  recommend  this  method  of  treatment  as  it  is  impos¬ 
sible  to  entirely  obliterate  the  joints.  In  factories,  attics 
and  other  places  where  decoration  is  not  so  essential 
this  method  may,  however,  be  followed. 

For  the  finishing  of  Grained  Ceil  Board  it  is  sufficient 
to  apply  one  or  two  coats  of  either  gloss  or  dead  varnish. 
If  the  color  of  the  stain  is  not  satisfactory,  a  stain  may 
be  applied  over  one  coat  of  varnish  finished  with  an 
added  coat  of  varnish  over  the  stain. 


Instructions  for  Application 

IMPORTANT — Do  not  stand  Ceil- Board  on  edge  against 
the  walls  around  the  room.  Lay  the  sheets  of  board 
flat  on  the  floor. 

1.  Studding  and  Joists — All  studding  and  joists  should  be  set 
16  inches  apart  from  center  to  center  and  should  be  straight  and  even 
on  the  side  to  which  you  apply  CEIL-BOARD.  If  the  studding  and 
joists  do  not  come  right  so  the  sheets  of  wall  board  will  join  on  them  you 
will  have  to  set  extra  studding  and  joists  where  the  joints  come.  You 
must  have  something  back  of  each  joint  to  which  to  nail-  the  wall  board.  If 
the  studding  and  joists  are  not  plumb  and  even  the  wall  will  not  be 
plumb — the  board  will  follow  the  unevenness  of  the  studding  and  joists 
if  they  are  not  properly  set.  See  that  the  face  of  each  stud  and  joist 
is  plumb  and  even  with  the  one  next  to  it. 

2.  Headers — Headers  should  be  placed  between  the  studding  at  the 
top  and  bottom  of  the  side  walls  and  between  the  joists  at  each  end. 
If  you  find  it  necessary  to  join  the  ends  of  the  sheets  of  board  in  the  ceil¬ 
ing,  headers  must  be  placed  between  the  joists  where  you  join  the  ends 
of  the  board.  It  is  absolutely  necessary  that  you  have  something  to  which 
to  nail  the  ends  of  the  sheets  of  ceil-board,  as  well  as  the  edges.  In  placing 
headers  around  the  lower  part  of  the  walls  see  that  they  are  just  even 
with  the  top  of  the  base  board.  For  headers  you  can  use  scrap  pieces 
of  2  x  4’s,  2  x  2’s,  or  even  I  x  4’s,  nailed  securely  between  the  studding 
and  joists.  For  partition  walls  it  is  best  to  use  2  x  4’s,  as  you  will  then 
have  headers  on  both  sides  of  the  partition.  Be  sure  the  headers  are 
Hush  with  the  faces  of  the  joists  and  studding.  On  long  spans  the  wall 
and  ceilings  can  be  greatly  strengthened  by  putting  in  extra  headers 
about  four  or  five  feet  apart  between  the  2  x  4’s,  both  on  the  side  walls 
and  ceilings.  Remember ,  the  more  headers  you  use  the  stronger  and 
stiffer  will  be  your  walls. 

3.  Window  and  Door  Frames — “All  window  and  door  frames 
must  be  made  to  correspond  with  the  thickness  of  the  CEIL-BOARD. 
Remember ,  that  CEIL-BOARD  is  only  three-sixteenths  of  an  inch  thick, 
while  lath  and  plaster  is  usually  about  three-quarters  of  an  inch  thick. 
Therefore,  where  CEIL-BOARD  is  used  the  frames  should  be  made 
narrower.  The  CEIL-BOARD  should  be  joined  as  close  up  against 
the  frames  as  possible  so  that  when  the  casings  are  applied  it  will  make 
an  airtight  job  around  the  windows  and  doors.  If  frames  have  been 
set  and  are  too  deep,  run  quarter-round  moulding  around  frames. 

4.  Sawing — CEIL-BOARD  can  be  cut  to  fit  around  openings  with 
an  ordinary  hand  saw.  A  fine  tooth  saw  is  recommended  where  a  nice 
joint  is  desired.  Lay  the  sheet  on  two  boards  placed  on  boxes  or  saw 
horses,  leaving  a  space  between  the  boards  in  which  the  saw  can  travel. 
Always  place  the  brown  side  up,  so  as  to  make  a  clean,  smooth  cut  on  the 
finish  side.  If  the  saw  becomes  gummed  it  can  easily  be  cleaned  with 
benzine  or  coal  oil. 


5.  Nailing  — Do  not  crowd,  the  sheets  of  hoard  too  tight  against  each  other. 
It  is  better  to  leave  a  space  about  one-eighth  of  an  inch  wide  between 
the  sheets  than  to  butt  them  tight  together.  The  same  rule  applies 
to  the  ends  of  the  sheets  of  board. 


A. — Bung  Head  Nails,  i34  in.  long.  Special  34  in-  head,  for  use  on 
new  work,  where  you  wish  to  apply  paint  or  tint.  B. — Bung  Head 
Nail,  2  in.  long.  Special  34  in.  head,  for  use  on  old  plaster  walls, 
where  you  wish  to  apply  paint  or  tint.  D. — Flat  Head  Nail,  i34  in- 
long.  Special  34  in.  head,  for  use  on  new  work,  where  you  wish  to

for  use  on  old  plaster  walls,  where  you  wish  to  apply  wall  paper. 

In  nailing  CEIL-BOARD  use  nails  as  illustrated  above,  driving  them 
firmly,  preferably  with  a  round  head  hammer.  Don’t  nail  the  edges  of 
the  sheet  of  board  before  nailing  the  center .  Nail  the  centers  first,  and 
after  you  have  nailed  the  centers,  then  nail  the  edges.  By  nailing  in 
this  manner,  the  board  will  go  on  much  smoother.  By  proper  nailing 
the  bung  head  nails  can  be  countersunk  with  the  hammer  sufficiently 
so  you  can  fill  the  depression  over  the  heads  with  CRACK  FILLER 
(see  paragraph  6).  The  flat  head  nail  heads  should  be  driven  so  they 
are  flush  with  the  surface  of  the  wall  board.  Nail  two  inches  apart  on 
every  stud,  every  joist,  and  every  header.  In  damp  places  it  is 
best  to  nail  one  inch  apart.  Drive  the  nails  about  24  of  an  inch  from 
the  edge  of  the  board.  To  keep  the  nails  in  a  straight  line  you  can  take 
a  chalk  line  or  straight  edge  and  line  the  board  24  of  an  inch  from  each 
edge,  and  also  16  inches  from  each  edge;  then  nail  on  these  lines. 

6.  Joints  and  Panels — The  joints  between  the  sheets  of  CEIL- 
BOARD  may  be  taken  care  of  by  nailing  decorative  strips  of  wood 
over  each  joint.  When  using  these  strips  the  wall  board  should  be 
decorated  first;  then  the  strips  should  be  stained  or  painted  before  ap¬ 
plying.  Nail  these  strips  with  small  brads  or  finishing  nails,  counter¬ 
sinking  the  heads,  and  fill  the  depressions  over  the  nail  heads  with  putty. 


if  possible  using  putty  the  same  color  as  the  stain  or  paint  used  on  the 
strips.  Our  special  CRACK  FILLER  may  be  used  for  this  purpose. 
The  thickness  and  width  of  these  decorative  strips  should  depend  on 
the  size  of  the  room  and  the  panel  effect  desired. 

An  even  panel  arrangement  is  not  absolutely  necessary.  One  can  panel 
the  walls  and  ceilings  in  any  manner  that  pleases  the  eye.  In  the  ma¬ 
jority  of  cases  the  panels  will  not  match  up  evenly,  but  even  though 
you  are  obliged  to  use  some  narrower  or  wider  panels  to  fill  out  the 
space  the  panel  arrangement  will  be  found  very  artistic.  The  width 
of  the  panels  should  depend  on  the  size  of  the  room;  a  narrow  panel 
being  best  on  a  small  room,  and  a  wide  panel  on  a  large  room.  A  plain 
frieze  may  be  obtained  by  applying  a  strip  of  CEIL-BOARD  horizon¬ 
tally  around  the  upper  part  of  the  room. 

7.  Plain  Walls  and  Ceilings  —  For  wall-papered  walls,  glue 
narrow  strips  of  canvas  or  heavy  wall  paper  over  all  joints  and  then 
glue  size  entire  surface  of  CEIL-BOARD.  Apply  wall  paper  the  same 
as  over  plaster.  After  CEIL-BOARD  is  nailed  to  the  studding  and 
ceiling  joists,  if  you  do  not  desire  a  paneled  room,  simply  fill  the  joints 
and  depressions  over  nail  heads  with  our  special  CRACK  FILLER, 
being  sure  to  fill  them  full  enough  so  that  when  the  filler  has  thoroughly 
set  it  will  not  shrink  back  past  the  surface  of  the  board,  thus  leaving  a 
depression.  After  the  CRACK  FILLER  has  set  three  or  four  days, 
scrape  it  off  smooth  with  a  putty  knife  or  smooth  it  with  sand  paper. 
Then  give  it  a  coat  of  shellac;  after  the  shellac  has  dried  an  hour  or  two 
give  the  entire  surface  a  coat  of  sizing  (see  paragraph  n),  after  which 
you  can  apply  wall  paper  or  burlap  with  perfect  success.  If  you  fill 
the  joints  properly  and  smooth  them  off  perfectly,  you  can  apply  paint, 
tints  or  enamels  so  as  to  partly  hide  the  joints.  If  this  filler  should 
become  too  stiff  to  work  easily  it  may  be  softened  with  a  small 
quantity  of  boiled  linseed  oil. 

8.  Application  of  Ceil-Board  over  Old  Plastered  Walls — 

When  applying  CEIL-BOARD  over  old  plastered  walls  or  ceilings 
you  should  see  that  the  surface  of  the  walls  is  even.  If  the  plaster 
is  broken  away,  furring  strips  or  waste  pieces  of  CEIL-BOARD 
should  be  placed  over  the  lath,  making  the  entire  surface  even.  Where 
furring  strips  are  not  used  care  should  be  taken  to  see  that  the  joints 
come  over  the  studding  and  joists,  the  location  of  which  can  be  deter¬ 
mined  by  tapping  the  walls  with  a  hammer.  The  same  nailing  instruc¬ 
tions  apply,  except  that  you  should  use  longer  nails  (see  paragraph  5) 
so  as  to  get  a  firm  grip  on  the  studding  and  joists. 

9.  Application  of  Ceil-Board  over  Cement  or  Concrete 
Wall  or  Badly  Broken  Plaster  Walls — Place  furring  strips  16 
inches  apart  from  center  to  center  on  the  walls  and  ceilings,  and  in¬ 
sert  headers  the  same  as  directed  in  paragraph  2.  Otherwise  the  same 
general  instructions  will  apply. 

10.  Special  Instructions — There  are  many  special  places  where 
CEIL-BOARD  may  be  used  advantageously.  Special  instructions 
for  the  use  of  it  on  any  particular  job  will  be  gladly  furnished  on 
request. 


11.  Sizing  — The  walls  and  ceilings  should  be  sized  the  same  as  plas¬ 
ter  wall  before  decorating;  except  in  the  case  of  painting,  when  the  first 
coat  of  paint  acts  as  the  size  coat,  unless  otherwise  directed.  A  good 
sizing  for  the  walls  and  ceilings  may  be  made  by  placing  one  pound  of 
glue  in  three  gallons  of  water;  let  stand  six  hours,  mix  well,  then  apply 
with  a  brush.  Or,  the  walls  may  be  given  a  coat  of  shellac  the  same  as 
used  over  the  CRACK  FILLER  in  the  joints.  Where  CEIL-BOARD 
is  exposed  to  intense  heat,  as  from  a  stove  or  gas  jet,  the  exposed  parts 
should  be  given  a  coat  of  shellac  or  Japan  dryer. 

Carey  Dultone  Paint — Dultone  is  a  scientifically 
prepared  wall  covering  combining  the  finest  of  binding 
oils  and  varnishes  with  the  purest  pigments.  There  is 
not  an  ounce  of  lead  or  other  harmful  or  poisonous  mat¬ 
ter  in  it.  It  can  be  applied  to  any  interior  surface  with¬ 
out  danger  of  producing  harmful  results  to  the  person 
applying  it  or  to  the  occupants  of  the  rooms.  It  works 
easily,  with  a  soft,  velvety  finish,  free  from  laps  or 
brushmarks. 

The  old  style  method  of  flatting  paint  was  to  wash  out 
as  much  as  possible  of  the  oil  contained  in  keg  White 
Lead  and  reduce  to  proper  working  consistency  with 
turpentine.  This  process  was  a  long,  tedious,  and  ex¬ 
pensive  one,  and  the  resulting  material  possessed  very 
little  binding  power.  The  finish  through  necessity  had 
to  be  starched  in  order  that  the  surface  could  be  cleaned. 
DULTONE  is  a  wonderful  improvement  over  this  type 
of  finish,  as  it  contains  more  binding  oils  and  varnishes 
than  could  be  possibly  incorporated  with  lead  pigment 
and  still  dry  flat. 

The  gloss  type  of  paints,  owing  to  their  unsightly  glare 
and  coarseness  of  texture,  contribute  little  to  the  decora¬ 
tive  possibilities  of  interior  wall  surfaces. 

To  produce  artistic  and  harmonious  interior  decoration 
resembling  the  finer  wall  papers,  and  at  the  same  time 
obtain  the  soft  color  tones  of  water  paints  and  kalso- 
mines,  and  procure  the  sanitary  value  of  tile  or  porcelain 


has  been  the  great  problem  of  the  modern  decorator. 
All  of  the  decorative  features  of  wall  paper  and  kalso- 
mine  are  obtainable  with  Carey  Dultone  Paint,  with 
the  added  advantage  of  permanency  and  washability. 

Carey  Dultone  Paint  is  unequaled  by  any  other  finish 
for  wall  surfaces  and  is  perfectly  satisfactory  from  every 
viewpoint.  A  single  coat  of  Dultone  First  Coater  ap¬ 
plied  to  the  wallboard  will  prepare  it  thoroughly  to  re¬ 
ceive  the  color  without  danger  of  “drying  in,”  “spot¬ 
ting,”  “clouding,”  or  showing  brush  marks.  One  to 
two  coats  of  Carey  Dultone  over  the  First  Coater  will 
make  the  surface  appear  beautifully  rich,  mellow  and 
uniform  in  shade  and  texture.
